Sim racing gear can be really expensive, but you know what's a lot more expensive? Drifting or Racing in real life. In this video I break out the cost of my Thrustmaster T300rs setup that I used to learn how to drift in Assetto Corsa, as well as the cost of my first season drifting in real life with my 2007 Nissan 350z. The overall amounts I spent on sim gear and real life events last year is pretty similar, but when you dig into the seat time I got in return from each the differences are pretty astronomical. If you're a car enthusiast with any interest in grip or drift, whether that be in real life or sim, I think you'll find this video pretty interesting. It makes a compelling case as to why you should 100% have a sim racing setup at home.

My Story *********************

In 2022 I purchased a 2007 Nissan 350z to start attending my first drift events, and I've learned quite a bit along the way. The community has been great and I'd very much like to pay it forward and help anyone looking else looking to get into drifting for the first time. Any burning questions as someone wanting to learn how to drift? Send them my way and I'll either respond or cover in a future video.
